Celebrity Eclipse Review
Amazing Trip of a Lifetime - Eclipse Scandinavia and Russia

Additional details
We sailed on the late May-early June sailing of the Celebrity Eclipse to Scandinavia and Russia (14 days). Since I found detailed reviews on this board so helpful when I was planning our trip, I promised myself I would make an effort to document what we did to help others. Here we go!
My husband and I planned this trip wanting to take a vacation outside of the US, because it would give us an opportunity to see so many new places. We are in our early 30s and cruised with Celebrity once before in the Caribbean. We booked with CruCon in late summer 2012 as part of a Labor Day sale.

Cabin Review
Deluxe Veranda 2D
On our last cruise, we had a cabin with a veranda and really enjoyed sitting outside (even enjoying breakfast one morning with a view). I wanted a veranda again this time, but figured we wouldn't be spending much time outside as we anticipated cooler weather. We booked a category 2D stateroom with veranda on deck 6 of the ship. Our veranda view was somewhat obstructed by the lifeboats, but they did not come above the railing of the veranda and we didn't mind them at all. The weather turned out to be nicer than anticipated, so we used it a bit more than I imagined.
The room was laid out exactly as it had been on our last cruise. We unpacked and had ample room for all our clothes (14 days is a lot to pack for) in the drawers, cabinets above the bed, and closet. We stowed our suitcases under the bed without any problems.
